The first scientific account—historical and critical—of the English Settlement Movement, with special reference to the “Mother of Settlements,” Toynbee Hall. An attempt is made to explain the special difficulties of the Movement, which are increasingly felt now, after thirty years of existence, and to suggest how they might be overcome. Details of each Settlement in the United Kingdom are given in an appendix.
